Jean Leon Vinya Le Havre Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva
2015
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc
A long and elegant estate red wine
From the French port of Le Havre, Jean Leon embarked as a stowaway to the United States. He was soon discovered by a sailor who, in an act of generosity, decided to cover up his presence. Vinya Le Havre is a tribute to that unknown sailor who would change his life forever. Elegant and long wine, with notes of plum and raisins on a toasted background.
Nose: The nose stands out for its notes of ripe red fruit, plums and raisins on a toasted and spicy background, with slight hints of coconut, as a result of its aging in wood.
Mouth: The palate highlights its good acidity and freshness. Its tannic concentration gives it corpulence and an unctuous body. It is an elegant and long wine.
